With my pregnancy this spiraled out of control and out of reach. I always used the excuse of being a mommy for not being able to lose the weight after pregnancy. The past Dec I felt miserable, so uncomfortable in my own skin. I was fed up and knew with the new year ahead I had 12 new chapters to complete.....new choices to be made. And I wanted my choices to be healthy and fight this battle no matter how many times I fall or how hard it may seem at times. I officially started this journey on 7 Jan weighing my heaviest ever at 117kg. I have been doing Keto and it seems to be working well. I have lost 4kg in total and quite a bit of cms. Only started working out about 2 weeks ago every second day 30 min walk/jogs. Yesterday I fell off the wagon for the first time since starting this journey and that's when I decided an accountability team will be the best for keeping me on track. Thank you for letting me join. Won't let myself down anymore.....nor will I let you guys down x B
Welcome, Bianca! You seem to have had your A-Ha moment and now are fully committed to losing weight. We are here to help you stay accountable and on track!!1 -

I'm a newbie to this challenge. I have only ever done one challenge with a friend before. I had a lot of success with that challenge, but fell off the wagon. I haven't been tracking my foods, so this will help me get back into the habit.
My starting weight is 185.0 lbs. as of yesterday, 2/1/18. I picked Thursdays as my weigh-in day because I thought the challenge was the calendar month, but since it doesn't start until Sunday, maybe I should change my weigh-in days to Sunday? My OCD would appreciate that change if it's possible since we haven't technically started? I could weigh-in again on Sunday and that could be my starting weight? Not sure what's best, so any advice is welcome.
My goal weight is between 135 lbs. and 145 lbs. I'm not really sure where I will be happy, so I'm leaving my goal weight up to my mental health and not a number on the scale. I would love to reach whatever goal weight before my 40th birthday May 29th, so I need to lose around 2.5 pounds a week to get there. Some weeks I will exceed that and some weeks I will gain the previous weeks weight loss back. My body doesn't like to cooperate, so I am just going to swing for the fence and command my body to listen. If I can get at least halfway there, I will be happy.
Can't wait to get to know everyone!
Welcome Marie! And we all have butts a little bigger than we would like....that's why we are here!!
Your starting weight for this challenge is whatever you posted in the February sign up thread. If you changed your weigh-in to Sunday, you would weigh-in tomorrow and that would be the end of week #1 for you, so I would suggest keeping it at Thursday.
Absolutely! Okay. I just wasn't sure if I needed to have a starting weight the first day or if Thursday's weight was okay. I appreciate you getting back with me.1 -

Hi all! I'm returning from! January. Had a bad month, but no excuses! I found the exercise I absolutely love, and it is martial arts , specifically tae Kwon doe. My family enjoys it as well. Luckily for me I'm able to not have the added stresses of work outside the home. Both of those together I came up with my username. I have great plans this month and future months!6

Exercise Y, 35 min walk + Shoulder Day
I'm really glad that I made the focus of this weekend a time for regrouping. I feel recharged and organized. Meals are prepped and training schedule is in place. I am ready to show this week who is boss!
I love the idea of Motivational Monday. Time to find some memes!

Pretty awesome, you guys who stayed under your calories on super bowl Sunday! I unfortunately did not. At least I don’t think so. I got so busy cooking and cleaning then eating and talking (hosted a party at our house) that I just can’t go back and log now. Oh well! @HASWLRS we will try again tomorrow!4

Hi everyone! I'm continuing the challenge from January. I'm a SAHM to 4 kiddos age 7 to almost 3 months. My last 2 were kind of close together so I gained baby weight on top of baby weight. My biggest struggle right now is getting enough sleep because my body tends to hold on to weight when I'm not rested! A quote I've been keeping in the back of my head to motivate myself is "The key to success is CONSISTENCY"

Here's my Monday Motivation:
Finish this sentence "Today, I am grateful for...."
We're all grateful for our families and our friends. But we often don't give ourselves the same consideration. What are you grateful for within yourself?
Today I am grateful for the ability to recognize that I have the power to change my circumstances. I can decide what I want to do and then do it.
What are you grateful for today team?4 -

You weighed in the day after the Super Bowl and you didn't post a gain. I'd say that's a win! Just be CONSISTENT this week and the scale will move for you! (See what I did there?!)4 -
Great question, Kay. What am I grateful for within myself?
I would have to say that I am grateful, that at age 51, I can still do many activities that I love to do. I just need to schedule the time to do them, because to stay active means you have to BE active!2 -

Motivational Monday: I don't know how to post those meme with the motivational quotes, but one saying that resonates with me is .....because the next few months will go by whether you lose the weight/work out or not....might as well make them count!5

Motivational Monday
You'll never change your life until you change something you do daily.
The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

That is one of my favorites!
Yesterday when I was swimming laps I had a moment of being bummed that I was soooo freaking slow (seriously slow) and then I realized I was literally lapping my previous self who would have been content to stay home and play video games. So I guess the motivational quote is "No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch"

@jackinorrie, did you get my PM? I am only asking because sometimes they don't get delivered and I also have messages out to some of those who still need to post a weight and they haven't been read, according to my computer.
No- I have not
I’ll try to pm you.0 -
